Synopsis

In this workshop, you can learn techniques which will encourage children to participate actively during a storytelling session. Go beyond just simply telling the story to using the story to get the children involved in the story using finger-play, oral refrains, action, music and rhythm. This workshop is suitable for beginners and anyone who is interested in storytelling and it is especially useful for teachers and care-givers who work and play with children.

Aims

Understand how participation stories can be used to increase the focus, attention span and language skills of the children

Gain hands-on experience in using finger play, oral refrains, action, music and rhythm to engage children

Learn how to manage big groups of children and draw responses from them
